Ooma is designed primarily for small business phone service. PBX.IM is built for teams that live on calls, with call monitoring, wallboards, call center workflows, and AI-powered analytics included out of the box.
PBX.IM customers get real support from a team that knows the product. No wait queues, no tier-based access. Just fast, knowledgeable help when you need it.
Ooma charges per user per month, and advanced features like call recording, CRM integrations, and AI tools are locked behind higher tiers. PBX.IM offers flat-rate plans with no hidden add-ons, so your costs stay predictable as your team grows.
Compare features, pricing, and scalability to see which tool fits you best.

PBX.IM makes handling incoming calls simple. Organize queues, cut down wait times, and give customers a smoother experience from the very first ring.
Easily configure how calls are routed to match your business needs and team structure. PBX.IM lets you distribute calls by time routing, team availability, agent skills, or even through simple round-robin allocation.

Set time limits for how long customers stay on hold and ensure they’re always directed to the right agent. With flexible queuing rules, you can minimize frustration, shorten wait times, and keep conversations flowing smoothly.

Create a better waiting experience for your callers with the on-hold feature. Use custom greetings in any language with text-to-speech, upload your own messages, or select music and sounds from our media library to keep customers engaged.
